3 words.
1 e-mail.
that's all it took.
to completely ruin my week.
not long ago, while visiting here with bfsp, i decided to buy some tickets. not just any ticket, but a
dashboard concert ticket!
november 11th was the day. 5:30 p.m. was the time. bfsp's 19th birthday was the celebration. i couldn't have been more pleased with the purchase.
my countdown to this long awaited date began.
fast forward to last night.
10 days to go!i returned home from work early, much to my satisfaction, and headed straight to my gmail account. a few e-mails from mom, one from some clothing place, and a message from smith tix.
"Oh goodie!"
i cheered.
{thinking smith tix was just giving me a little reminder
the wait was about to be over
for my favorite band to
visit me and bfsp
in the o.c.(orem city) at my very own school}
...i was dead wrong.
instead, smith tix was telling me the 3 words i dreaded the most:
dashboard
concert
cancelled
that's all. nothing to cushion the blow. nothing to explain why. nothing to keep my spirits up. just 3 words.
i was in shock. bfsp confirmed it {i thought maybe i was having a nightmare, so i had to get a second opinion}.
terrible way to start the week. the week that was ruined by one e-mail.
...but i had no idea what was in store for the coming 24 hours.
this morning i went to class with one thing on my mind...no more dashboard. i had that thought until i remembered that i had a math test...and classes to register for...and work...and life in general that took more importance. long story short...first week in november has already turned against me.
until...
i remembered a great quote that i found on this beauteous, bewitching, brilliant blog once upon a time. it says:
"the only way to get through life is to
laugh your way through it.
you either have to
laugh
or
cry.
i prefer to laugh.
crying gives me a headache."

so i am going to laugh. even when i want to cry.
